@Sceptik0101 It's okay! You can listen to both, that's the beauty of our age.

[prunellapussywuggums]

sorry...not Hot Lips Page, but rather, Walter Page!

[prunellapussywuggums]

this was a jzz sampler for american tv in Dec 1957--gathering all the greats for one great jam session---it was dedicated to Hot Lips Page who should've been there-but who was too ill to attend-he died hortly thereafter.

[theemperorsclothes]

Thank you! Can you please tell us when this was filmed?

[prunellapussywuggums]

see my response of 3 weeks ago.

[blacsouljah]

@theemperorsclothes I think this was a televised special on CBS(?) in 1957 called "This is Jazz". I believe there are other clips from this special posted on youtube.

[motreby]

no one...I mean no one...can swing like these cats.....this is pure AMERICAN MUSIC......

[matoflash]

@motreby Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dormouse72]

[momentsapart]

Vic Dickenson, Harry Edison, Roy Eldridge, Billy Holliday, Jo Jones, Freddie Green... what a line-up! Can't get better than that! Must be early fifties
